Strength 30:00 [4]
The Gallys had us all over - just an excuse for Ms.Gally's reign of terror in her basement of boot-camp horrors. Actually, a solid circuit workout.
Harder part was when she invited the remaining few of us back down after dinner for pull-ups and 500m erg sprints, on full bellies.
Gally schooled me on the erg!
So great of them to set this up and host us all!

Nice solid run with the boys in Silver Creek area. Perfect winter run with a strong group.
I felt the lack of running this month- heel was sore from yesterday's thumbs-of-death, and the hamstring thing is still there.

XC Skiing 1:10:00 [3]
Gorgeous bluebird day for a ski around the 'hood with Bash.
Actually a bit tricky to wax as the sun (gasp) warmed the snow.

Strength 30:00 [2]
Spent some time splitting and hauling wood, while the dogs raced around and wrestled in the snow like crazy beasts.

Strength 50:00 [2]
Workout 2, foot/kneehab and some lumberjack work.
XC Skiing 1:05:00 [3]
Wonderful sunny but breezy day out. Took the big guy skijoring on the closed Duffy's Lane, and we sped along following deer scent I guess.
We also did some nice Palgrave doubletrack.
After all the romping with his brother earlier, he ran out of gas near the end and I was practically pulling him along the last 5 min.

XC Skiing 35:00 [3]
Beautiful moonlit ski home at a dead calm -20. Bazingadog trotted along with a slack harness, like the perfect on-leash dog of our dreams.

XC Skiing 1:10:00 [2]
Nice commute with a leisurely BZdog. Walking the twisty bits makes it less exciting for sure, but in a good way.
Staff are clamouring for AD to come to work Thursday - I'll have to drive them both in so the big guy can school him in office protocol.

Scenic route home.

Snowshoeing 1:10:00 [2]
Out with the hounds. Bazingadog was a bit of a handful on leash, especially as his brother can frolic freely. Really nice sugary powder snow, and we did a fair bit of bushwhacking. The dogs were going nuts in the chest-deep stuff, leaping and beating eachother up. We love winter!!
Short ski after to post some signs on our property for our new neighbours, letting them know that if they want to cross on snowshoes we'd appreciate them not obliterating the ski tracks while ignoring the snowshoe track right beside them.

10 AM
Running race 50:31 [4] 6.89 km (7:20 / km) +157m 6:35 / km
O- cup UKR.
I was debating using snowshoes, but we arrived without enough time to test them. Turns out they would have been good in the bush, and better for a strategy of more direct lines. Instead, I decided to run packed trails as much as possible, even if it was longer.
I went into the first box with a plan to run the trail to the far control and then come backwards, having a nice broken trail to follow back to controls once I met the leaders, and I got to run my own race. It worked pretty well but the snow was still slow. I met Bash, DD and Anvil just as I left the box.
I overshot 6 as I ran on the trail North of it, but managed to nail everything in the second box ending up 5th overall. I enjoyed doing my own nav a lot, rather than running in a pack.
Nice race by Eugenius and UKR, with wonderful wine prizing. Good lunch after too.
